Parameterizing
To parameterize your MegaCore function, follow these steps:

are not supported on the currently selected device family.
2. Select Bidirectional, Receiver, or Transmitter interface direction.
3. Click the Transceiver Options tab.
4. Under Transceiver and Protocol, click Generate transceiver and protocol blocks.
5. For SD-SDI only, turn on Use soft logic for transceiver to implement the
transceiver in logic, rather than using Stratix GX, Stratix II GX or Stratix IV GX
transceivers.
6. Select the starting channel number.
7. Turn on Use PLL reconfiguration for transceiver dynamic reconfiguration if you
select an EP4CGX110 or EP4CGX150 device for Cyclone IV GX using dual and
triple standards. You may turn on this option for other Cyclone IV GX devices but
it is not recommended.
8. Turn on Enable TX PLL select for 1/1.000 and 1/1.001 data rate reconfiguration if
your design requires two serial input clocks to the TX block.
